Studies in Language and Literature, a series of scholarly monographs concerning individual topics in linguistics and literature and related studies in the history of culture and ideas, published by the University of Illinois Press under the auspices of the Graduate College. Volumes 1-37 contain 2 to 4 monographs each. Beginning with Volume 38 (1954), each publication is numbered as a separate volume.
Due to the extremely fragile condition of volumes 1-3, these volumes are restricted.
The first students to do graduate work enrolled in 1877, leading to the awarding of the first master's degree in 1878.1 However, a graduate program was not set up until 1891.2 The Graduate School was formally organized in 1907, after appropriation of funds by the Illinois General Assembly.3 Its name was changed to the Graduate College in 1947, in anticipation of its new significance in the University organization.4 In 1968, the Board of Trustees provided for separate Graduate Colleges on each of three University campuses.5 The Graduate College has the responsibility of developing and safeguarding standards of graduate work and promoting and assisting research by faculty members.6 It provides assistance and supervision to other degree-granting units on the campus.7
In 1974, the Board of Trustees added the title of Vice Chancellor for Research to Dean of the Graduate College to more accurately describe the responsibilities vested in the college.8
